Lonicera nitida 'Garden Clouds Copper Glow'

This popular garden hedging variety has been revitalized through the Lonicera Garden Clouds series, offering a superb, disease-resistant alternative to traditional box hedges and topiary. Lonicera Garden Clouds Copper Glow stands out with its fine green foliage, with fresh leaves emerging in a striking copper hue. Unlike the common Lonicera nitidia, this variety naturally develops dense, rounded forms, making it an ideal choice for topiary and low hedging. These evergreen shrubs are resilient to disease, thrive in both sun and shade, and are adaptable to all well-drained soil types. They tolerate regular pruning, allowing them to maintain precise architectural shapes such as globes and cones. In three years, expect a height of around 90cm (3ft) and a spread of 60cm (2ft), with regular clipping helping to maintain their compact size.
